e.thirteen has a pricing policy in place to protect all of its dealers, so $120 is about the cheapest you will find an SRS. www.go-ride.com, www.unrealcycles.com, and www.bikeman.com are great places to look, and you should also talk to your local bike shop. Heres a partial list of e.thirteen dealers. Anyone who can buy from BTI or QBP can get e.thitrteen. http://www.e13components.com/dealers.html
try www.aebike.com rik, $106.99 i think they are, and ship usps. you can get them cheaper with the conversion rate from www.bikeroom.com but you wont get warrenty
Its pretty simple, there is a minimum margin tht e.thirteen products can be sold at. By becoming an e.thirteen dealer, a dealer agrees to follow these written guidelines. What the guidelines do is make sure that every dealer who sells e.thirteen products can make a return on them, and works to eliminate the possibility of one dealer underselling every other dealer by taking almost no margin for itself. Its actually a somewhat common practice to have such a policy, and one that dealers really appreciate.
Our pricing agreement with dealers only has to do with the price at which they can advertise the guides. If they want to sell them for less as part of package deals or to long-time, loyal customers (and make less money), they legally can.
Although definition #2 provided by DW comes close:
The result of an unlawful agreement between manufacturers or dealers to set and maintain specified prices on typically competing products.
Notice that price fixing takes place across an industry. Ie: If E13, MRP, Envy, Truvativ etc all agreed to sell guide no less then a certain price, then it would be price fixing and you would HAVE to pay so much for a guide.
If you dont like paying e13s price, you can easily get a truvtiv or MRP cheaper if you can find it.
